Ugly

 

[Kicker82]

Powell and plavsic are giving absolutely nothing lately and it’s frustrating

 

[BigSteve09]

10 is gonna be one sad dude when the rematch happens

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

I don't care how good your defense is you can't have these abysmal shooting performances

 

[volsarelife1]

Not a single player had a good game today

 

[Caz]

We can all whine about the refs all we want, but we soo earned this loss!

 

[cwbytruckers]

This isnt a bad loss. Payback in TBA. Wipe that smile off that freaking ugly ass Williams

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tell me you don’t watch a lot of basketball without telling me you don’t watch a lot of basketball.

lol, no it didn’t. Tell me about Arky‘s win % at home and how they‘ve played late..

The importance of this game is paramount since Auburn lost, no way TN can win SEC regular season now and it affects SEC tournament seeding as well as NCAA, so yes momentum was stopped. Vols were not prepared to play in that environment and it reflected in their offense all day

 

[Big Orange#1]

Such pathetic coaching lineups , shooting, and referring.

 

[7maxims]

Powell is terrible

 

[zaqhhh]

Well we went 1-1 this week which was arguably the realistic goal.

Hate to lose like this but we get them again and Auburn still. Can’t beat the life out of Misery and UGA too

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

We did not play well at all. Not gonna blame refs, it's on us.

We kept them in it, the refs took them over the top with terribly one sided block charge calls alone. They slid under us all day. Take the no call when they knocked Fulky out of the game for instance. They got two points and we lost Fulky.

 

[Vol49er]

We can all whine about the refs all we want, but we soo earned this loss!

Disagree, I cant be upset with the team when they got that kind of whistle

 

[Lankykong]

Even with terrible calls the Volunteers still self destructed with more than 4 turnovers more then the Razorbacks.
Tough to win a close basketball game if one team has a high amount of turnovers.

4 turnovers = bad block/charge calls we got

 

[cobbwebb0710]

This team just isn’t very efficient on the offensive end, away from TBA. It’s crazy to me how biased SEC officiating is toward the home teams and I’m including Tennessee in that statement as well.
GBO!!

 

[ButchPlz]

This game was an embarrassment all around.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Does anyone really feel like this is a good team we're losing against? They did nothing of note to win this game. The stats seem to reflect that as well, the officating is the only real difference.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

This game killed TN late season momentum...

I wouldn't say that. We'll see how we play against Mizzou, but on the surface I don't think a close loss on the road to a really good Arkansas team is a momentum killer.

 

[BreatheUT]

Just knocked out of a chance to win the SEC. Those hopes are done. We controlled our own destiny after Auburn lost. It's over.

 

[Caz]

This team must practice missing lay ups

I think they do practice it because we are great at it

 

[I4Vols]

We wear this team out in Knoxville. Barnes better not act like a wallflower toward the refs after this game.

He will, he's a p*ssy with refs

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I told myself that this game was house money today and I wasn’t going to get mad, yet here I am now redneck mad at the loss. Just so frustrating. We had so many chances. This is a game we easily could have won and maybe positioned ourselves for a 2-seed. Just so frustrating.

 

[Big Orange#1]

This game was an embarrassment all around.

Totally pathetic and embarrassing on every front, shooting, referring, coaching, lineups

 

[Volstylexx]

I’m going to remind folks this was not a game TN had to win, and not a game anyone predicted TN would win. It would have been great to pull it out, but quit acting like this is the end of the world.

 

[Delmar]

4-20 on 3s. Not going to win many games

And many of them wide open.
